Which UC should I transfer to?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

I’m applying to most of them, and the ones I’m pretty sure I can get into are UCSB, UCI, and UCD. I’m majoring in Psychology, and would like to go to grad school as well.

Are you using TAG for any of the campuses? What is your UC GPA?

I have a tag for UCSB, and my current gpa is around a 3.2, and hopefully either 3.3 or 3.4 after this semester.

Here is a link for the transfer GPA’s by major for each UC campus (2015). For the following UC’s, the admit GPA range for Psych was as follows:

UCD: 3.38-3.80
UCI: 3.25-3.73
UCSB: 3.33-3.77

Other than TAGing to UCSB, UCI and UCD do not look like shoo-in’s. I suggest you broaden your list and add UCR/UCSC.

This is really helpful! I will try to apply to these UC’s as well. I still wonder if it is just better to try applying for transfer next year, but this is my third year at a CC, and if even if I stay there is no guarantee I will be accepted.

Unless you have financial limitations, I would apply this year and see where I am accepted before considering another year at a CCC.

Good luck.

I agree with @gumbymom - You should apply this year. If you are TAGing UCSB and comply with their terms you should be all set. Still, a plan B is never a bad idea. Add Santa Cruz and Riverside to cover that base and provide you with options in the Spring.
